INFLUÊNCIA DE ANTIOXIDANTES NATURAIS SOBRE O PERFIL LIPÍDICO DE HAMBÚRGUERES BOVINOS SUBMETIDOS À IRRADIAÇÃO POR
INFLUENCE OF NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS ON LIPID COMPOSITION OF BEEF BURGERS SUBMITTED TO IRRADIATION IN
CO SOURCE AND ELETRON BEAMS

ABSTRACTRadiation processing has been employed in some countries as a mean of treatment to assure microbiological safety of meat and meat products, avoiding the occurrence of food-borne disease. The ionizing radiation may cause some undesirable changes on chemistry composition of food and the lipid oxidation is one of the main reactions. In meat products processing industry, the lipid composition is directly related to nutritional and sensory quality of the product. For preventing oxidation, use of antioxidants which can be synthetic or natural, has been practically applied in some products. Currently, most attention has been given to natural antioxidants from herbs and spices like rosemary and oregano.The aim this study was to assess the antioxidant effects of either rosemary and oregano extract in beef burgers submitted to irradiation in 60 Co source with dose 6, 7 e 8kGy, electron beams with dose 3,5 e 7kGy and storage under freeze along 0, 45 e 90 days. The results showed that rosemary extract has the major antioxidant effects when it is used on heterogeneous food matrix like beef burger, but oregano extract was better efficient to delay lipid oxidation along storage time when it is used in synergism with rosemary and/or BHT/BHA. Although to have occurred changes in the fatty acids composition it was not possible to demonstrate a straight dependence of irradiation dose and/or storage time. Sensory analysis showed that between the samples prepared with natural antioxidants, the beef burger prepared with oregano has received better scores by panelists. Irradiated beef burger prepared with rosemary has received better scores when compared to non-irradiated one. The use of spices with antioxidant activity to avoid the oxidative damage in foods that contain fats in their formulation is thought to be promising to application in food facilities. Muito mais do que outros modernos processos de preservação de alimentos, a irradiação de alimentos teve que vencer barreiras criadas por informações erradas, prejudiciais, leis altamente restritivas e medidas regulatórias as quais até os dias atuais têm impedido o amplo uso desta tecnologia (Diehl, 2002).
